Error when installing Breeze.Server.Webapi2?

Question

I'm trying to install the Breeze.Server.Webapi2 Nuget package for my completely empty solution. However I keep getting the following error:

Updating 'Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Core 5.1.2' to 'Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Core 5.0.0' failed. Unable to find a version of 'Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.OData' that is compatible with 'Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Core 5.0.0'.

As suggested in the answer of I've tried installing Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.OData and then Breeze.Server.WebApi2. I received the following error when installing Breeze.Server.WebApi2:

Install-Package : Updating 'Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Core 5.2.0' to 'Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Core 5.0.0' failed. Unable to find a versio n of 'Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.OData' that is compatible with 'Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Core 5.0.0'.

What could be wrong here?

Hi Jamie. Mabye it's the same problem with in this post: stackoverflow.com/questions/25108085/… — Edi G.
@EdiG. Hi Edi. Thanks for your reply but I've tried the answer already. I've updated my question with the response. — Jamie Romeo
Hi Jamie, I can't repro this behavior. Can you provide additional information? What version of Breeze are you trying to install? the latest Breeze, 1.4.17, uses Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Core 5.1.0 and not 5.0.0. Based on the message it looks like Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Core 5.1.2 is already installed, so the solution is not completely empty. (by the way, creating an empty web application with the Web API package did not fail either) Providing the exact steps to repro the issue will help pinpoint the problem. — sbelini

Apparently I had an outdated version of Visual Studio. Once I updated it I received no errors.
